Re: [NMock2-Dev] Fwd: [TDD] Nmock verify

[Steve F. <st...@m3...>]

Sorry Mike, but I put my time in on that project and handed it off in  
the hope it would get looked after. I don't have a .Net environment  
at the moment so it's hard for me to do serious work. I added the  
last committer because he needed updates to keep NMock in his project.

The issue is not that NMock uses strings (although c.f. the work that  
Nat has been doing in jMock), the issue is whether the project is  
still live and responsive. From the traffic I've seen, many people in  
the .Net world assume that it's dead.
